    No Start Issue - Heat Soak Issue?

    I wish I could put it inside that fender, but that whole inner fender is covered in cables and breakers for the radios, inverter, etc. And the intake is in the passenger fender, not the driver's side. Now putting it in the passenger fender is a possibility... I'll have to see if I have room...

    No Start Issue - Heat Soak Issue?

    I appreciate the WAG, really I do. :) To address each point you brought up: I confess I didn't really check the lights all too carefully, other than the WTS, but nothing caught my eye as being different from normal either. Will make it a point to check when/if the next time it happens. No...

    No Start Issue - Heat Soak Issue?

    For the past few weeks I've started having difficulty starting my '99 GMC C3500 with the HO 6.5TD. There's a couple of issues involved so let me list those and then we can get on to the speculation. First, about 6 weeks ago I managed to cook my 140amp alternator. The truck is a radio...

    What's your July 4th Fireworks Budget?

    I'm an old fart with a bad knee. It used to be I could light one and get away well before it went off. That ain't happening these days, so the wife and I just go watch the show the town puts on.

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    In response to the straight water / anti-freeze mix debate going on, I highly recommend reading the article at this link: The Basics of Diesel-Engine Coolant

    What do you BBQ with?

    Propane here, because it's what I have. I like charcoal, but having a propane grill means I can quickly grill up some chicken for dinner when the mood strikes, and not have to wait for the coals to be ready.

    Can the 6.5 pull 12,000lbs?

    Some states require a USDOT number for any permit holder, even non-commercial.

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    You sure you don't just need to fix the porch a little? :hihi: BTW, I know you have OD in your truck and wanted to mention being careful pulling all that weight uphill. You want to shift down out of OD for that to help keep your tranny temps cooler.

    Bill, should you find yourself halfway between Richmond and Washington D.C., why then you're right in my neighborhood and should stop for at least a cup of coffee and a handshake! I'll also offer you 24/7 roadside assistance anywhere within a 150 mile circle of Fredericksburg. PM me for the...

    I was just looking at the decals and I see prices and sizes have changed a bit. One thing that's curious to me though is that it says "three colors" yet the "Color?" dropdown only has one selection "as shown". It took me a minute to realize then that "three colors" probably meant three colors...
